As far as my ghetto blaster, we started the training as soon as the front door opened. That's usually when we turn the sound way up. I was able to have him sit and wait quietly and then treat him. It took about 3x to get out the door. We then went to the driveway and had my partner walk Cooper back and forth down the road. It set Max. I was able to sit him and put him in a wait mode as well but he still barked. I said SHHHH QUIET and he stopped for 2 seconds, then treated him. We did this continually while Cooper pranced past us sticking his tongue out at Max.
We then met Cooper down the road. I tried it in another location. It's not all that smooth, but I can put him in a sit and wait position. I tried watch me also to get his eyes off Cooper and that worked a little. Max is just so hyped up but I think with daily training we can make this work.
What is anyone's thoughts on softly and gently holding his mouth closed while saying SHHH QUIET?
Thanks for allowing me to journal in this thread.
